extreme fatigue early on

[waitn838]

well ladies...im just about 15 weeks and you would sware by the way i walk im 8 months pregnant...i have to walk so slowly and just the walk from my car to my office chair (not far at all) tuckers me out...i literally feel like im out of breath

i just keep thinking...man ive just begin to grow...im really scared that this is going to get worse and im going to be spending the ending of my pregnancy on bedrest

is anybody having this fatigue from short distance walks...i try to clean up my house and just from emptying the dishwasher i have to sit down and catch my breath

should i be worried something is wrong?

i can only imagine what the next 5 months will bring

I too felt like you do. I would get tired just from walking to the bathroom and trying to fold laundry...forget it!  After I fainted a few times I told my OB what was going on and they tested me for anemia and it was positive. I have been taking iron since I was 17weeks and the waves of weakness were gone with in a few weeks. I am now 38 weeks and looking for our little guy to arrive next week. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

thanks for the advice....i take my prenatals everyday and im not tired (sleepy)...im just a very slow walker and the shortest distance or easiest thing puts me out of breath

i literally feel like im carrying this baby right under my bbs and its taking the breath out of me if that makes sense

Have you been checked for anemia (low iron)?  How long have you had this fatigue?  I don't think anything's wrong but it wouldn't hurt to let your ob know what's going on.
